Hi everyone,
I've been using the official LineageOS 17.1 (SM-G903F) and when I try to backup and restore a ROM from TWRP LineageOS just gets stuck in the load screen (or in some cases the Galaxy S5 Neo Boot Screen loops)
I've so far tried TWRP Versions:
3.5.0_9-0
3.4.0-0
2.8.7.0 (can not create backup)
LastStandingDroid's Unofficial Experimental TWRP (2.8.7.0)
Any ideas on what the problem could be? Are you guys able to recover TWRP backups?
I've also tried not using GApps.
Thanks for any help,

I guess /system cannot be restored. /data and /boot seem to restore fine, but I need to flash the LineageOS .zip along with it.
Any ideas on why? Is it a TWRP problem? I'm not using read-only mode in TWRP and I get no errors, it just bootloops.
I'd like to know the answer to this as well.
I'm experiencing the same issue with LOS 17.1/twrp 3.4

Since I have SlimKat ROM, I have TWRP 2.6.3.0 installed as recovery, but I am wondering if my backups are complete: this version of TWRP does not seem to backup .android_secure. The same for restore: .android_restore is not handled
Why ? I saw some videos with TWRP 2.1.1 that shows .android_restore partition in backup/restore screens
I was previously on OOS 2.2.1 and TWRP 3.0.0-2 (phone encrypted) and it was able to decrypt the /data partition just fine.
I decided to update to OOS 3.0 Beta with the modified H2-MM TWRP 3.0.0-1. I did this by dirty flashing. My phone boots up fine and I'm able to unlock the phone and everything seems to be running fine. The problem is now H2-MM TWRP 3.0.0-1 is unable to decrypt my /data partition. It keeps asking for my password, saying it's the wrong password. I know the password is correct because I'm able to get into my phone just fine. Would like to be able to access TWRP to flash su among other things.
Is anyone else having this issue? Anyone have OOS 3.0 Beta with H2-MM TWRP that CAN decrypt?
TWRP 3.0.0-2's decryption was working fine on OOS 2.2.1. I tried using TWRP 3.0.0-2 with OOS 3.0 Beta, but it won't work. Seems H2-MM TWRP 3.0.0-1 is required.
Thanks in advance!
Same problem here, I hope a solution comes soon..
Hi folks,
I need some help. I have had my X820 I ordered from bangood for about a month now. I have tried a variety of ROMs on this device, and twrp-3.2.1-0-x2.img. This morning I tried to give the latest lineageOS a try. I did the typical wipes, and flashed lineageOS & gapps. After reboot google play started to throw all types of errors.
I booted back into TWRP, and this time it would only mount in read only. I tried the trick to change the /data partition fron ext2 back to ext4, did wipes again, installed ROM + Gapp, reboot but still have crashing playstore and google background processes.
I went from an already installed AICP to LOS. I did do a complete TWRP backup of AICP beforehand. The weird thing is that if I do a complete wipe again from TWRP, and do a fresh install of Pixel Experience [AOSP] all works normally. And after I did another wipe from TWRP after Pixel Experience, and restored my AICP backup all is working fine now both in TWRP & AICP. Has anyone had something simular happen like this before?
You have to install the latest unofficial TWRP build in order to use see your /data partition with the latest LineageOS installed. It's indicated on the thread's FAQ.
So I've tried with a few different roms including the official 8.1 oreo, lineage OS 15 and 16 and a few other custom pie/oreo roms. Installed everything normal, latest TWRP version tried both full disk encryption and FBE based TWRP's and roms and although the backup and restore process doesnt show any error upon reboot it either goes directly to TWRP or shows the boot image of the restored rom for a few seconds then shuts down and boots up to TWRP again. Any ideas on whats wrong? Factory resetting at this point doesn't help it work.
Would appriciate any insight on this, I've tried so many roms now with f2fs as well as fde file systems, both encrypted and unencrypted and none of the nandroid backups I make using the latest TWRP or TWRP-FBE depending have worked at all. I am able to make the backup and restore it, no errors but it will never boot up, always either boot loop or stuck on Google logo screen.
Now I just can't seem to find what I'm doing wrong with this phone, I've formatted and reinstalled a bunch of times with latest Magisk root, last two roms I tried with android 9 was RR 7.2 and AICP weeklies, and before that the stock 8.1 from google none of which could be restored from nandroid backup. On my other phones I have TWRP backup/restore function working no problem, so I know how to use the UI with sucess.
Anyone come across anything for this maybe?
I've been running rooted CRDroid 9.0 (with Magisk and No_Verity) for years and wanted to go back to Oxygen, so I downloaded OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_068_all_2006012224_c7a6016 and updated my TWRP to 3.4.0.0. I followed the instructions - took a TWRP backup, flashed the Magisk uninstaller, did a full wipe (dalvik-cache, cache, system, vendor and data) and then tried to flash the ROM. I got an error due to the compatibility file. So, I tried to restore my TWRP backup and am now getting bootloops.
The instructions say I have to remove the compatibility file on my device, but I can't because of the bootloops.
Can anyone please help me to either get my TWRP backup successfully running or successfully flash Oxygen 10?
Thank you for any help!
